Almost all of us carry a smartphone equipped with a camera boasting a million billion megapixels. Given this, there’s truly no excuse not to venture out and start capturing some pictures, even for those who might be a bit camera-shy.
If you’re seeking inspiration, you’ve landed in the right spot. These images aren’t necessarily focused on composition, but they are all about seizing moments of something cool.

“Soda bottle that can be filled with sand and used as a handle.”
I had never encountered the term ‘hantle’ to describe these weights, but indeed, it is a legitimate word. This not only represents a creative method for repurposing old bottles but also provides the beverage manufacturer a way to use fewer contents in a bottle.
“I made this robin out of wool and I think it turned out im-peck-able.”
I’m a straightforward individual. When I come across an appealing picture with a caption featuring some clever wordplay, I make an effort to incorporate it into a Socialbeams article.
“My cousin’s samurai sword shift knob.”
For those individuals with an assortment of inexpensive swords acquired from a mall vendor, repurposing them in this manner seems like a reasonable idea. There’s a certain charm in summoning the ancient spirit of the Samurai while cruising around in a Ford Fiesta.
“The sunset from my plane seat.”
Flying can often be an uncomfortable experience, making it easy to overlook the incredible views it provides. What adds a unique touch is realizing that, at ground level, the sun has already set a considerable time ago.
“This gravestone of Internet Explorer.”
Internet Explorer never gained much respect, often ridiculed as an inferior option compared to popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome. It was eventually discontinued in 2022. Microsoft has since introduced a new browser, featuring a similar logo and serving as a replacement for Internet Explorer.
“This slug drew a snail.”
From my understanding, slugs are essentially snails without shells. If that’s accurate, I appreciate this small slug for crafting aspirational street art. Even if it may never become a snail, that doesn’t hinder it from dreaming.
“I’m working for my state’s abandoned mines program. Here’s some of the interesting stuff.”
Abandoned mines often maintain surprisingly good conditions, particularly those situated in dry, arid areas away from human intervention. While there might be the occasional ghostly presence, they remain intriguing sites.
“Got to work on the Wienermobile today.”
For a mechanic with a passion for hot dogs, I’d assume fixing up this vehicle would be a priority on their bucket list. After all, this has to be the most renowned car shaped like a hot dog in the history of the world.
“The cat, the scorpion and the field.”
I had some concerns about the cat and scorpion not getting along, but it seems like they’re pretty chill with each other. In fact, it almost appears as if they’re about to collaborate on dropping an album together.
“TV remote in Peru has a button for soccer.”
TV remotes indeed come with a plethora of buttons that often go unused (like those mysterious colored buttons with no clear purpose). In light of this, it’s quite refreshing to spot a button that serves a genuinely useful function.
“Wild boar chilling with humans.”
The serene demeanour of this wild boar and the seemingly unconcerned people may lull you into a false sense of security. However, it’s worth remembering that if wild boars are bold enough to approach someone like Shakira, they’re probably willing to take on anyone. Proceed with caution.
“The parking lines at this dentist in Dublin are toothbrushes with some toothpaste.”
Attention to detail in often overlooked areas is something we can all appreciate. With just a touch of extra paint, this dentist has ingeniously found a way to make a mundane parking lot on-brand and far from boring.
“A firework behind an old tree.”
Although this tree is undeniably bare, devoid of any leaves, the specific angle captured in this photo gives the illusion that it boasts the coolest leaves imaginable. With a bit less blur, this image could easily become a perfect phone background.
“I did this at the last chalk festival.”
Chalk art consistently astounds me. The 3D effect, complete with shadows, is impressive, but what truly captivates me are the lighting effects. The artwork genuinely resembles a real glass, skillfully reflecting light in a highly realistic manner.
“These 2 UPS trucks trading packages.”
While I wouldn’t want to make unwarranted accusations against these UPS drivers, the scene does appear a bit dubious — almost as if there’s something to conceal. In reality, it’s likely a more convenient method for these drivers to exchange packages by simply pushing their trucks together like this.
“A pair of eagles interlocked. Been after this shot for years.”
Eagles stand out as formidable predators, and most animals, humans included, recognize not to provoke these birds of prey and their razor-sharp talons. Interestingly, it appears that eagles themselves should also heed this advice, as this image captures a fierce struggle between them.
“These kiwis undergoing mitosis.”
Mitosis involves the separation of individual chromosomes into two new nuclei. While the technical definition is crucial, what’s more fascinating is the peculiar effect mitosis has on kiwi fruit. It’s as if some of these kiwis are attempting to form the shape of the number 8.
“The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee flyover.”
Throughout history, when an English monarch attains the 70th year of their reign, there has been a tradition of commemorating the event with fighter jets creating the numeral 70 in the sky. It’s important to note that, technically, this statement is accurate.

While the grid pattern on the bottom of this pool might seem rather straightforward, its appearance undergoes a remarkable transformation with the introduction of a bubble. Suddenly, it takes on the semblance of a futuristic security camera.
